Bloody stupid rubberneckers!

[Freejack2]

So I'm on the NY Thruway and around the 152mile marker it all of sudden comes to a grinding halt. I'm thinking bad accident...
Nope, all 3 lanes open. Just a bunch of idiots rubbernecking at some old minivan that blew a tire and went off the road.
If it's not on the road why do people have to fricken slow down to look at it?!?!?

Van on the side of the road with a blown tire is about all the excitement they'll see today.

That pisses me off to no end!

*Traffic slows down*

Me: "Somebody better be dead up here"

I hear that. On 95 and the beltway, even flashing lights from tow trucks slow traffic down. People are very easily dis....oh look, a bird!

No its a plane!

If they are bloody, perhaps they really were in an accident?

Well, it's a Good Thing to slow down so that you don't hit people stopped on the side of the road. It's the rubbernecking because there is a guy changing his tire on the opposite side of a divided highway that gets my dander up.

if you can tell there's blood, then you're a rubbernecker. 500 people probably already drove by... you're not going to discover anything new. Keep going and for Christ's sake don't hit the brakes just to look.

Well I do suppose it's better than being bloody stupid Johnson and being accredited with making a 50' deep hoho instead of a haha, making a Colossus of Morpork that fits in a matchbox in the dwarven bread museum, or making a salt shaker that should be sit on table sized but ends up so large that 4 families live in it. 😛

I agree totally. Those who slow down to gawk and then cause other people to suddenly brake need to be shot repeatedly. Friggin idiots, I wish I could get out of my car and drag them onto the road, pummel their faces with my fist and then throw them off a bridge.

I'm going to start posting about the idiots in cars who buzz bike commuters.
